James Taylor to do free concerts in NC for Obama

[GreenInNC]

Taylor, a Chapel Hill native, will hold five concerts in all - Charlotte and Asheville on Sunday, Chapel Hill on Monday, and Raleigh and Wilmington on Tuesday.

Said Obama's N.C. campaign: "Taylor will help spread Senator Obama’s message of change to Tar Heel voters and encourage Obama supporters to get out and vote early."

11. Cant stand him. JT is valium for the ears- but people do love him...

...so as long as it helps Obama, I'm for it.

The cool thing is, as far as musician supporters for Obama, there is something for everyone!

I do enjoy JT's solid back-ground vocals on Neil Young's "Harvest"- and I enjoy Elvis' KILLER cover of the JT penned "Steam-Roller Blues" so I guess I cant say he is all bad!
